Re: Fantasy Tan Bashes UV Tanning

If I had previously purchased their system I would be filing suit against them right now.
Dr. Mist if you see this how do you feel? I would make them at least refund my money.

Re: Fantasy Tan Bashes UV Tanning

I just got off the phone with Lester. He said he will review the page and will speak with Elizabeth who handles the website. I explained that my belief was that he would gain more customers through not having that on his site than he would lose by including that page. Lester was taken off guard by Brian's E-mail.

I hope that others will give him constructive points that will help to influence a change.

Re: Fantasy Tan Bashes UV Tanning

I'm telling you there should be a zero tolerance toward this. This nonsense is setting up shop IN THE TANNING INDUSTRY and they have the nerve to bash it. The ITA is supposed to be the figureheads of the tanning industry. They need to put their foot down on this with the idea that if this practice of throwing the industry under the bus to sell products continues they will be blacklisted as a company to not do business with.

Kinda like a Better Business Bureau of the tanning industry. Very easy to set up and maintain. There are plenty of angry people willing to work for the sake of saving face. No big deal.

Eggy, I've seen your site and know you have the ability to do this yourself. I also know you've got a lot going on right now with the new baby and all so I'm not really saying YOU should be the one the do it.

BUT, anyone out there who wants to build a site that blacklists companies that bash the tanning industry, I'm more than happy to lend my time creating the graphic interface of the site. I did the same thing with EliteMike on sunlighttruth.com

So whoever wants to step forward and donate some web build time, I'll donate graphic design time. PM me.

Re: Fantasy Tan Bashes UV Tanning

Like MovieKing stated- they remove the page from the site but it will continue through hard copies and spewing of the sales people.

My anger cells are multiplying over here- now I have anger cancer.

Re: Fantasy Tan Bashes UV Tanning

The three companies I deal with that are very receptive to the professional tanning salon onwers are:
Infinity Sun
Scentual Sun
Tantrick
I'm sure there are more these are just the ones I have the most business experience with.
